Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

The two of them rejected Gao Zhao's suggestion to rob and plunder!

Lin Chong, needless to say, is not short of money. He has a good status and income, and his family has no worries about food and drink. There is absolutely no need for him to do something that could cost him his life.

As for Lu Zhishen, it was simply because he had no concept of money, and he still had enough money from Zhou Tong to squander, so he was too lazy to cause trouble.

Gao Zhao sighed helplessly. He had originally planned to take the two of them out for a bit of fun, put them in danger, and then help them out, while also gaining some gratitude points and skills.

Lin Chong didn't fall for it, but unexpectedly, even the blockhead Lu Zhishen started pretending to be a decent person!

Nima!

Those who live by the sword really don't know any loyalty!

If you all only care about yourselves and are so afraid of losing your lives, how can I show my unparalleled loyalty and save you from this predicament?

Gao Zhao angrily drank a few mouthfuls of wine and then tried to persuade Lu Zhishen with words of advice, appealing to his sense of gain and righteousness. However, the man showed no intention of upholding justice.

"Bang!" Gao Zhao slammed his wine glass on the table, stood up, and strode away, ashamed to associate with these two men who had no sense of chivalry.

"Where are you going, young master?" Lin Chong hurriedly stood up and asked.

Gao Zhao glanced at the fat monk who was still sneering, snorted, and replied, "I'm going back to see my master. I have to go back to Biyong tonight. I don't have time to fool around with you guys anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong knew that his earlier refusal had displeased him, but since it concerned his life and fortune, how could he dare to indulge Gao Zhao's nonsense? So he could only smile and bow as he saw him off.

After the others left, Lu Zhishen curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Someone must have offended this scoundrel, and he wanted to use us to get revenge for him, but he didn't fall for his trick!"

Lin Chong chuckled, not wanting to speak ill of someone behind their back, and quickly raised his wine glass, urging, "Senior brother, let's drink!"

As the two were enjoying their drinks, Gao Zhao had already left the Xiangguo Temple. After thinking for a moment, he realized that when he came here with Lin Chong, he had forgotten about Shi Qian...

Oh dear, I really didn't mean to send Instructor Lin away so I could see my sister-in-law. It was just an accident, and I had no choice!

We can't just leave Shi Qian there and abandon him! If he freezes or starves to death because of this, wouldn't that be a terrible thing?

Worried about Shi Qian's safety, Gao Zhao quickly ran towards the Lin family.

Upon arriving here, it was natural to greet my sister-in-law; I was perfectly adept at handling social etiquette!

Upon entering, I didn't see my sister-in-law. Instead, I saw Zhang Zhenniang pacing back and forth in the courtyard with her head down. She looked quite aggrieved, probably because she had been scolded by Zhang Yunniang!

However, compared to this question, he was more curious about whether Zhang Zhenniang could see the ground with her head down like that.

Judging from the size of it, she probably couldn't even see the toes!

Even though Gao Da Yanzi had seen it all, he was still amazed by this strange sight and couldn't help but take a few more glances!

"Ah!" Zhang Zhenniang took two steps and suddenly felt a gaze on her. She turned her head and saw Gao Zhao. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then covered her mouth and looked at him with a look of astonishment.

Seeing her looking like a frightened little rabbit, Gao Zhao couldn't help but smile. He glanced up at the roof and chuckled, "Is the young lady still pondering how to reach the shuttlecock?"

Zhang Zhenniang couldn't help but think of what had happened that morning. Not only had she let him hug her, but he had also put his foot inside her... She was so ashamed that her toes dug into the ground, her cheeks burned, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

Gao Zhao did not try to help, but felt that the beautiful sight of the girl blushing was better than any other scenery in the world!

"Thank you!" Zhang Zhenniang hesitated for a moment, then realized that this wasn't a solution, so she mustered her courage and stammered her thanks.

Seeing her adorable shyness, Gao Zhao couldn't help but tease her, "What are you thanking me for, young lady? Are you thanking me for catching you? Or for helping you keep this a secret!"

"Oh! Don't talk nonsense! Be careful someone hears you!" Zhang Zhenniang was very anxious upon hearing this and quickly looked around, afraid that someone would hear her!

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Gao Zhao patted his chest and assured him, "This is a secret between my wife and me!"

"Well, thank you very much, young master..." Zhang Zhenniang felt relieved at first, but then felt that his words were too ambiguous, and couldn't help but blush.

She looked up at Gao Zhao and saw that he looked completely at ease, not like he was deliberately flirting with her. She felt relieved and thought to herself that she had been overthinking things. She then asked, "Young master, you left with my brother-in-law just now. Why have you returned alone?"

Gao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then turned around and picked up the rouge and powder he had bought on the way that morning. He immediately said, "Although what I did today was out of necessity, it was still too abrupt for you, young lady. So I picked out some rouge and powder to express my apology!"

"Ah! No, no!" Zhang Zhenniang blushed and waved her hands repeatedly in refusal. She had just been hugged by someone this morning, and now she was accepting gifts from him. What would people think if word got out?

Gao Zhao ignored her pleas, grabbed her hand, shoved the rouge and powder into her mouth, and said with a smile, "If you don't accept it, I can't use it, and I'll feel uneasy about it. Consider it a favor, young lady!"

Zhang Zhenniang naturally refused to accept it, fearing that her father would find out, and quickly tried to return it.

Just as the two were shoving each other, Zhang Yunniang's voice suddenly came from behind: "Zhenniang, who are you talking to? Is someone from the house here?"

Startled by the shout, Zhang Zhenniang quickly turned around and replied, "No...no one...I was just talking to myself!"

Then, turning to Gao Zhao, he whispered, "You'd better leave quickly! My sister says you're not a good person, and she'll be furious if she sees you!"

"Ah!" Gao Zhao was stunned. He didn't expect that the woman would spread such rumors about him behind his back. Wasn't this slandering someone's innocence out of thin air? He immediately wanted to argue with her!

However, upon glancing at Zhang Zhenniang's anxious face, he dismissed the idea. This secret, heart-pounding feeling was just like love!

Gao Zhao took two steps back and asked in a low voice, "Since your sister says I'm not a good person, why are you still talking to me?"

Zhang Zhenniang glanced back, blushing, and said, "I don't think you look like it..."

"I really didn't mean it, it's all a misunderstanding, don't believe her one-sided story!" Gao Zhao nodded repeatedly. In this situation, all you need to do is give a vague explanation, and people will fill in the blanks themselves.

"I..." Zhang Zhenniang realized her words were inappropriate and was about to correct herself when she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly pushed Gao Zhao away and whispered, "My sister's here! Let's go!"

Gao Zhao followed suit and walked out. As he was leaving, he whispered, "Young lady's feet smell a bit sore; she should wash them more often..."

"Ah!" Zhang Zhenniang was stunned when she saw him say that. She was taken aback. As he ran away with a grin, she suddenly realized that he had teased her!

She was immediately filled with shame and anger, stamping her foot and scolding, "You really are no good person!"
